Here we go again....

Okay, I have failed miserably on my diet. I did a week with barely any carbs, lost weight....then went "carb crazy". *Sigh. I am a failure. But today I have awakend with a renewed sense of will power. I'm going to do it this time. And I promise, no complaining. Really. I swear.

I need to run to the store, get the water tested for the pool, and buy some chemicals. Dh just called to "remind" me. "Oh, and by the way, are you going to Wal-Mart? Because if you are, you can pick up the cover for the boat." Oh gee, can I? Pretty, pretty please???? Yeah, I don't think so. I've got enough to do today. Of course he follows that up with, "And keep cranking out those covers (sewing), we can use the money." Hmmmm, we can use MY money for YOUR boat cover you mean? Yeah, that's what I thought. Well, I will not be going to Wal-Mart today, so get your own freaking cover on your own time!

I got some gorgeous picture frames at, of all places, the dollar store yesterday. They look like leather, are burgandy and have a white stitiching around the edges. They look expensive. I put some of my photos in them and placed them around my desk. I gave one to dh to take to work. I need to get a digital camera. I love my nikkon, but I'd like to be able to see the pics right away, and post them. Hmmmm, maybe I will stop at Wal-Mart....

Well, good luck with your diet again.  As a rule, I really just avoid diets because I hate restricting myself.  I find that if I just exercise I'm ok.  I'm the type of person that can't do things in a mild manner and once dieted myself so thin it was ridiculous.  People have these preconceived ideas that if you are thin you will be happy.  All I remember about that time of my life is that I was always hungry...And I hear you with the husband errand thing.  I've already gotten calls this morning to fax things and mail the taxes etc.  At least you get paid for your job.  That must make it a bit more fun...Now get to work!

SHERRY!!!  I'm shocked and amazed at your attitude. Here Hubby goes out and spends his hard earned money on a boat just for your pleasure and you won't do anything for the poor guy. What's going through your mind? Do you really think he bought that boat for himself? He was only thinking of making you happy and getting you out of the house and away from all the stress of housework. I'd be rethinking your attitude young lady if I were you. hahaha Hugs Lanny

<so get your own freaking cover on your own time! >  Didn't I warn you? Huh? Didn't I? LOL!! But then again, a digital camera...that might be worth letting him have something for the boat ;-)
I've gained back 4 of the 8 pounds I had lost! AARRGGHH!

I learn something new every day!  I never knew they sold boat covers at Walmart of all places!  Not that I will ever need one mind you, but never even knew they had them!  And, if you are so good at making covers, why not go and sew yourself up a boat cover too while you are at it?!  I am sure that tarp material isn't hard to work with or anything right?  Hee-hee!  And, for the record, I can sew on a button, does this count for anything?!  That's about it though!

Don't worry about falling off the wagon and going carb crazy!  I am sure it felt sooooo good doing it!!!  :)
Hugs and love, Lisa
